This example logs you in to vShell,
creates a template and two linked devices; turns on, connects to, logs in to the devices,
and defines IP addresses; and logs out and disconnects from the devices.
-
From Linux, log in to vShell.

Create a link between the
devices.
(vsh) create link av1 0/1 av2 0/1
Note
If you were to run
show link and
show link
status at this point, they would display "Down" and "Both
sides down", respectively. The link will be up only after you log in to
SLX-OS and configure av1 0/1 and av2 0/1, as described below.
-
Connect to one of the devices,
log in to SLX-OS, and assign an IP address.
(vsh) connect av1

-
Log out from the first device
and return to vShell.
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# end
device# exit
